Commercial Difficulties.

OTTAWA, ONT, June 23.-In Parlia.
ment yesterday Mr. Platt, member for
Prince E ward county, rave notice
that he will, ON Thursday, mske mo
ton to the effect, first, thas the admis-
sion OF all products and manufactures
OF the Dominion of Canada into the
markets Of the United States free Of
import duty and like concession b.
the Dominion of Canada to the prod.
ucts and manufactures of he United
States would afford an amicable settle
ment of the present controversies and
existing commercial 4! fficulties, bene-
tit the most important industries Of
Canada and promote harmony and
cement the friendly relations existing

it is the duty of the Government Of
Canada to anticipate the result of the
agitation now going on in both coua-
tries by preparing by the appointment
of commission or otherwise for the
negotiation of treaty Of unrestricted
reciprocity with the United States,
based upon bread and comprehensive
principles snd without prejudios to

Waiter Stanley, one of the foremost
OF Canadian engineers snd govern
ment supporter, appealed to the gov
eminent to introduce without delay
bill freeing the st. Lawrence canals
from tolls. He said the canal
policy of the government hitherto had
been a lamentable failure, and trade
which today should find lis outlet by
the st Lawrence was now going to
New York and Boston. He said the
naDigation Of the st. Lawrence should
be as free as that of the ocean. The
Minister Of Finance declined to give
definite assurance as to the course the

matter.

pIumbers's national convention.


CHICAGO, ILL, June 23.-The first
thing done by the Plumbers National
Convention was the reception of the
report by the Executive Committee.
This treated entirely of the Baltimore
resolutions that had been submitted
to the convention. In substance, the
resolutions were to the effect that all
manufacturers of plumbers goods who
sold to consumers should be boycott
ted by the plumbers. The committee
argued that the adoption of the reso-
luton was just the thing for plumbers
1t would do away with the disagree.
able habit Of consumers who bought
their pipe from the manufacturers
and afterward hired INEXPERIENCED
men to do their work.
Mr.. Weaver, of Philadelphia, pro.
posed that the Canadian Association
of Plumbers be asked to join with the
National Aid Association and form a
combined org anizstion. Mr.. Cabay,
OF New York, oppos ed this end said 1t
was the business Of the National Asso-
citation to take care of its plumbers at
home. The proposition was not con.
sidered feasible, and consequently was
dropped. The convention then elected
officers for the ensuing year, as fol-
lows: John Byrnes, Of New York,
was chosen president, and John
Trainor, of Baltimore, vice president;
Mortimer ]. Lyons, of Brooklyn, was
reelected treasurer, and Enoch Re.
mick, OF Philadelphia, was reelected
financial secretary; David J. Collins,
Of ST. Louis, was again chosen sergeant
at arms, and it was decided to hold
the next annual national convention
at Boston.

eEE OF THE PLOTIERS
WHO AIDED In THE ABDUCTION
OF MRS. ALBERT BROOKS,
A Woman Named Anna Butterfield
After q Long Search, She
Is Located.

San FRANCIsCo, CAL, June ga
woman known as Anna Butterfield
who has lately been working in (
bakery at Riverside, CAL, has beer
identified as one OF the persons who
apparently had some knowledge of o.
connection with the alleged abduction
OF Mrs. Albert Brooks, OF Junis.s
Mich, who recently came into posses
sion of large fortune at Dsnver, Col.
and then mysteriously disappeared
The Bulterfield woman was identified
as the person who sent both of the
letters to a banker at Vssasr, Mich
The letter in question had been writ.
ten by parties in Riverside to Mrs.
Brooks at Denver. Ii was also learned
that the Butterfeld woman had re.
ceiyed copy Of the Detroit Free Press
Of June llth, noting the receipt OF the
letter st Vssssr. Then some inquiries
began to be made about her. She dis.
appeared, departing last Sunday. She
was reported to be worth $4,000. The
parties who were investigating the
matter declare that the woman ia either
enc OF the abductiDg party or is the
lost Mrs. Brooks herself, and that the
receipt OF a large legacy upset her
mind. A good photograph YVES occurred
of the woman, which hes been sent
East. She ia apparently forty TO ios.y
fivs yearo Of ege, Of stout appearance,
and has plain features.
Inquiry today has failed TO learn the
whereabouts Of Anna j. But!elfisld, Of
who is thought to know
something Of the supposed kidnsp-
ping OF Mrs. Albert Brooks, Of Michi.
gan, who lately as heir 81 cured $780,.
600 at Denver, C1l. There are certain
facts that seem to be established, viz:
Mrs, Butt rfield came into possession
Of private letters Of Mrs. Brooks's and
sent them TO banker at her cid homs
ia Michigan, and that che hsd tels-
graphed money 10 her old home
through tho RiversideBsnk for the ben.
dc OF Miles Brooks, whom she claimed
to be.theHon of an aunt who was Lost. Il
Is possible that Mrs. Butterfeld is the
niece OF her lost aunt, and it Ia Just
possible that she is the lost Mre,
Brooks herself, aud that after the re-
ceipE Of the money her mind became
unbalanced and she wandered from
her friend. Mrs. Butterfeld has
talked strangely abont the matter
from the frat. The smount OF money
she claimed to have in her possession
varied from $40, 900 to 100000.

1t is the American inability to wait that has
proved it untrue for us, and until very lately
made failure our only record; but there is q
deeper reason than a merely temperamental
one. The abolition of the apprentice system,
brought about by the greed of master and
men alike, has abolished training and slow,
steady preparation for any trade An Ameri-
can has been regarded as quick enough and
keen enough TO take in the essential features
of a calling, as it were, at glance, and ap-
premiership has been taken as practically an
insult to national intelligence. Law has kept
pace with such conviction, and thus the door
has been shut in the face of all learners, and

EDUCATION AND MANUAL LABOR.
General Education breeding Up Dis
taste for Work-What is Needed

The point made by old fashioned southern
ers that education rendered the negroes worth
less labcrers, has been advanced by The
London Daily News in a broader shape The
News says that the introduction of workshops
into the national schools is absolutely neces-
sary, because general education is breeding
up generation with distaste and even
contempt for manual labor This idea is
gaining ground throughout Great Britain.
Business men and manufacturers say that
education causes people to drift to the towns
and cities. Boys and young inca no longer
desire to become apprentices They have no
fancy for farming. They are all looking for
light employment and high wages To coun-
teract this tendency it is becoming necessary
to dignity manual labor, to offer premiums
and the departments of technology now being
added to the schools are a necessary out
growth of the new conditions.
The fear is expressed that at the end Of
another generation the masses will be loafing
about reading cheap literature, leaving the
work of the shops, factories and fields to be
done by the few who are tempted in that di-
aection by high wages, premiums, and extra
ordinary rewards offered by the government
Fortunately it is not very difficult to expose
the absurdity of these pessmistic forebodings
Education will not drive men to idIeness
when they are trained up i'll a practical at
mosphere. Without common sense at the
family fireside to leaven the youthful mind
the gauntlet of schools and colleges may he
run with impunity. Take the Scotch They
have been well taught for two centuries but
they show no disposition to shlrk manual
labor. The point is made, also, that the
PrISsiau peasants are well educated as the
English will he twenty years hence, but they
are hard workers. and do not drift to the
towns
Ii there IL ANYTHING wrong in the relations
OF education and manual labor the fault will
be found in certain unreasonable social aspira
tions, more common in England and the
United States than in other countries Where
there is feverish craze for the lille and lux
urious mode of life iudulSed in by the wealthy,
there is restless movement from the bottom
to the top going on all the time The way to
counterict this Is to return to the old fash
ioned methods Of family teaching. half a
century ago children were taught common
sense views of life They went out into the
world impressed with the idea that they had
to begin at the bottom round of the ladder.
They were stuffed full OF the utilitarian philus
ophy of old Ben Franklin, and very good
philosophy they found it. These youngsters
made the right start, and education benefited
instead of injuring those who were fortunate
enough to obtain book knowledge The
moral is obvious Education is not making
our boys useless. The whole trouble is in the
false ideas of life, which make our boys use
less before they get their Observation-Disclosures
Constitution.
